The age-old practice of giving out business cards is something we all do daily. Meet someone new, give them a card, and then of course the majority of those people won't ever actually contact you.

Now there is a way to stand out of the crowd and impress the next person you give a business card to.

Meet the swivelCard, a "smart business card" with a USB drive built in.

You might be thinking to yourself, "USB on paper? That doesn't even make any sense."

While the cards are a bit thicker than standard business cards, they are on paper, and they do indeed house a USB drive on it.

According to swivelCard's Kickstarter page, the company has patented a system to turn paper into a USB drive. With today's technology, you can get a 64 GB flash drive that is no bigger than the tip of your finger. The flash technology is so small and efficient now, that putting it in a card like this isn't hard to believe.

To access the USB part of the card, a user simply has to fold the bottom third of the card up so it can fit into a USB drive on a computer. Then the user will be given a file to open that will redirect them to a browser window that will house information online such as your resume or portfolio.

Don't expect to be able to customize the cards too much at first. The cards will be locked to where you can't edit the files, and the cards only hold 1 MB.

The Kickstarter only asked for $10,000, but is now up to over $55,000. The extra money will allow them to add analytics to the card so you can keep tabs on how recipients of the card are using it.

These cards won't come cheap, of course, with a pack of 200 cards starting at $319. A more expensive version that will allow you to transfer data to the card wirelessly will be available for $379 for a 200 pack.

The cards will begin shipping out to Kickstarter supporters on October 2014.
